Dressed in heavy armor and with eyes like lightning, Hojo Tsusunari walked briskly under the corridor with a gloomy face, and the samurai entourage who saw him hurriedly bowed and saluted, but Hojo Tsunari, who was usually very lenient to his subordinates, didn't even bother to look at it this time, and went straight to the castle tower of Odawara Castle. At this time, Hojo Phantom, Hojo Tsunataka, Kasahara Yasukatsu, Tame Mototada, etc. were all elders of the Hojo family, and even Tominaga Naokatsu, who had been sitting in Nirayama Castle, returned to Odawara Castle to participate in this meeting, which shows the importance of this meeting.

The Hojo family will also know each other, but this time Hojo Tsusunari just nodded to everyone and sat down directly. Seeing that everyone had already arrived, the little surname went to the inner room to tell Hojo Shiyasu that the meeting could begin. Hojo Shiyasu, whose face was still a little pale, nodded and walked out.

"Participate in the lord!"

"No courtesy." After Hojo Shiyasu sat on the main seat, he spoke directly: "Everyone should know about the matter, right?" ”

"Yes, the Chiba family is the guardian daimyo of the lower general country, and it was actually exterminated overnight, which is really staggering." The youngest Kasahara Yasukatsu spoke.

"I received information that it was Tsukahara Moryū who did it." Hojo glanced at Yasukatsu Kasahara and said slowly.

"What?!" Kasahara Yasukatsu stood up suddenly, his eyes split, after all, his father died at the hands of Tsukahara Molong. And the rest of the Hojo family were silent. According to their original inference, it should be the Oda family and the Satomi family who have joined forces to have the slightest possibility of destroying the Chiba family overnight, and the two families are powerful daimyo sitting on hundreds of thousands of stones, this kind of thing is not impossible. But I didn't expect to get further news that actually pointed to Tsukahara Molong, the son of the fierce god, and the demon dragon under the ninja city!

"Kangsheng! Don't be rude in front of your lord! The eldest Hojo Tsunataka scolded, which made the murderous Yasukatsu Kasahara sit down slowly.

"What do you think of this matter?" Hojo Shiyasu opened his mouth and said, although with his prestige in the Hojo family, there is basically no problem in making decisions without going through the retainers' group, but the retainer collegial system is the inheritance of the Hojo family for three generations, and Hojo Shiyasu himself has begun to feel a little unwell, and for the sake of his son, he has to pass on such a system.

"While his foothold is not stable, immediately send troops to exterminate this person!" Hojo Tsusunari said immediately. He sits in Jade Rope City, and he has always been in charge of the direction of the next general country, assisted by Hojo Tsunataka, who fought with the Satomi family before, and it didn't matter if he couldn't defeat it, this time he was actually seized by Tsukahara Molong overnight, what face did he have to face Hojo Shiyasu? However, just as he was about to send troops, the order for Hojo Shiyasu to go to Odawara also arrived, so he came here for a meeting with a stomach full of resentment.

"It's certain to send troops, but how many troops are we going to mobilize?" The old and serious Tominaga Naokatsu directly hit the point. At present, the two wars with the Uesugi family have consumed the Hojo family's food stockpile, and the weapons and armor also need to be repaired and maintained, so it is not suitable to send troops again, but Satomi Yoshiyao took the opportunity to recapture the territory of Kamisokuni, and also invaded Shimosokuni, forcing the Hojo family to send troops again...... It's not that the Hojo family doesn't want to, but the current Hojo family is indeed unable to start a large-scale war anymore.

"I am willing to lead Bai Bei to sweep the whole country, and bring the head of Tsukahara Molong to see you!" Yasukatsu Kasahara said immediately. As an important combat force of the Hojo family, there is no doubt about the combat ability of Bai Bei, and the number of people is not too many, and the food and grass materials consumed are still within an acceptable range. And although Tsukahara Molong swept the country, in the final analysis, he was just a swordsman, how many people could be mobilized to fight in a hurry? Although Yasukatsu Kasahara is angry, he is not a fool, and naturally he will not push himself into the fire pit.

Hojo Phantom looked at Kasawara Yasukatsu, an outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Hojo family, and said: "Tsukahara Molong has been a huge threat to various forces in Kanto since the night battle of Ninja City, and this time the lower country he captured is a place of four wars, the Oda family, the Satomi family, the Yuki family, including his former master Uesugi family, will not let him go, we can form a large encirclement network against Tsukahara Molong, not to mention that Ashikaga Yoshiaki has been resurrected, even if Kiso Yoshinaka is reincarnated, it will definitely be difficult to escape death." ”

Seeing that the retainers of the Hojo clan had basically reached a consensus, he was about to speak, but he felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the faces of the Hojo family changed greatly, and they hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation of the lord, but they were pushed away by the Hojo clan: "Tsunasei, Tsunataka, Motozhong, Kang Sheng, the four of you lead your subordinates, assemble in Edo City, and destroy Tsukahara Molong in one breath!" ”

"This ......" The generals of the Hojo family looked at each other, they were all the core figures of the decision-making level, and naturally knew how many troops the Hojo family could support to launch an attack at the moment, of course Kasahara Yasukatsu had no problem with a white preparation, plus the black preparation of Tamu Mototada's was enough, and these four major reserves were all ...... The food and grass are no longer able to support it.

"I have made up my mind, if Tsukahara Moryū does not die, my Hojo family will definitely die in his hands!" Hojo said decisively.

Just when Hojo Shiyasu and his generals held a meeting, Tsukahara Moryū also came to the envoy of the Uesugi family, who was the current commander of Moryūbei, Oishi Tsunamoto.

Oishi Tsunagen was dressed in gorgeous armor, and when he saw Tsukahara Molong respectfully giving a salute, he said: "Oishi Tsunagen is here to meet your lord, and this time I came to ......."

"How many Molongbei warriors who followed me in the night battle of Ninja City back then, are there still many people left?" Tsukahara Moryū interrupted him directly and asked.

Oishi Tsunagen was originally quite unhappy because Tsukahara Molong interrupted his words, but after hearing Tsukahara Molong's words, he couldn't help but be silent. Oishi Tsunagen was born in the wealthy family of Uesugi, and served as a close attendant of Uesugi Kenmasa since he was a child, and he was very appreciated by Uesugi Kenmasa, and he asked himself that the art of war was not inferior to the world's famous generals, so after Tsukahara Molong left, he took the initiative to propose to Uesugi Kenmasa that he wanted to lead Moryō. Uesugi Kenmasa was even more distrustful of outsiders because of the Tsukahara Molong incident, and he was having a headache about how to deal with these samurai who were Molongbei, so he very readily handed over Molongbei, a person close to him, Oishi Tsunamoto. Although he admires Mo Longbei's good fighting, he is also keenly aware that Mo Longbei is too small in number, and it is difficult to take charge of it alone, at most he can take on a surprise mission, which is definitely not what he wants, so he forcibly expanded Mo Longbei to the level of a complete reserve. When fighting against the Hojo family, although Oishi Tsunagen was a little difficult to fight with a famous general like Hojo Tsunataka due to his lack of experience at first, fortunately, the samurai of Mo Longbei sacrificed his life and death to fight and repelled several times the strong opponent, which made him very satisfied. However, as the battle progressed, the warriors before Molongbei suffered heavy casualties, and although the newly recruited warriors were also very strong, they lost their ruthlessness after all, and they were beaten and retreated, and in the end they were reduced to ordinary reserves. This made Oishi Tsunamoto's impression in Uesugi Kenmasa's mind drop sharply, so he was sent as an emissary. He really didn't know how to answer Tsukahara Molong's question.

Tsukahara Moryū looked at Oishi Tsunagen quietly for a while, and then sighed, "Go back and tell Lord Guan that I, Tsukahara Moryū, am not a merciless person, and I am grateful for the teachings of Kohata Kendai and Nagano Yoshimasa-sama, so I accepted the gift of the right to freely cut Kanto, and this time I returned to Kanto, I was entrusted by His Royal Highness the General, do you understand?" ”

Oishi Tsunamoto's face changed, gritted his teeth, and said: "You should also be very clear about the current situation in the Kanto region, you are now the target of the public, and everyone will not sit idly by and watch you successfully digest the total country, without the support of the Uesugi family, you ......"

"Is this a threat?" Tsukahara Molong chuckled lightly and threw the two letters in front of Oishi Tsunamoto, who picked them up suspiciously, but gasped: Takeda Harunobu and Imagawa Yoshimoto both expressed support for Tsukahara Molong's efforts to recover their homeland, and Takeda Harunobu also gave 3,000 pieces of money, while Imagawa Yoshimoto sent two hundred pairs of armor and ten horses......

"I can also tell you that the number of troops assembled in Suruga Province has reached 20,000, and in Kai, 3,000 people have completed mobilization." Tsukahara Molong looked at Oishi Tsunagen playfully, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he patted his head with a smile: "Oops, how did I forget, I still have five hundred Taidao knives produced by Echigo here, and the qualifications are indeed excellent!" ”

Echigo! Oishi Tsunamoto's face turned pale, the motives of the Takeda family and the Imagawa family are well understood, they don't want a powerful force to appear around them, so they both support the rise of Tsukahara Molong in order to contain the Hojo family, and now the Hojo family is in a weak state, and they can't afford to turn their faces with the two families at the same time. But why did the Echigo Nagao family ...... Oishi Tsunagen understands that the Echigo Nagao family is where the Uesugi family is now confident, if it is really urgent, it is a big deal to lead the Echigo Iron Cavalry to the south, and because of Echigo's friendly attitude towards the Uesugi family, Uesugi Kenmasa can dispatch the army of Kita-Shinano, otherwise Murakami Yoshikiyo will be sandwiched between the Takeda family and the Nagao family and will not be able to move at all. If the Nagao family also stands behind Tsukahara Molong, then the Uesugi family has no possibility of turning against Tsukahara Molong, otherwise it will be a desperate situation for the Hojo family, the Nagao family, the Takeda family, and Tsukahara Molong. This guy who could only fight with a knife and was expelled from the Uesugi family like a lost dog at the beginning, unexpectedly opened such a big net without anyone noticing, encompassing the entire Kanto region in the palm of his hand.

On the Eastern Front, the Oda family and the three allied forces were fighting at a fever pitch, and they were unable to look westward. When Tsukahara Molong moved troops to approach the territory of the Yuuki family, the Yuuki family had already sent someone to express their intention to form an alliance with Tsukahara Molong, and then use whether to form an alliance with the Yuuki family as a weight to force the Oda family to form an alliance with him, so as to initially stabilize the eastern front of the lower country. Although this fragile peace will not last long at all, but time is what Tsukahara Molong needs most now, and at present, the total country is still trying to digest it, and every day that passes, Tsukahara Molong will be stronger, and this big net is mainly to buy time now, as for the future......
